FYI, might not be a Fri edition of the VAF News until mid morning Friday. Extra paper route stuff for F, S and C. Hang tough <grin>.

VAF POSTS & RV NEWS THAT CAUGHT MY EYE.....dr:
—————————————————————————
From Last Weekend …echostar7
This weekend I started my xc flight from GA to CA, Sunday was first flight after the condition inspection, and flew from Sylvania GA to Montgomery AL for the first stop. The hangar there at Montgomery aviation is from WW2.

Custom Fuel Line …TASEsq PIREP
I went to our local hammerbarn and made up a quick straightener using some wheels designed for screen doors. It worked 95% and I got the last little waves out by clamping one end in the vice and the other in vice grips and giving it a calibrated whang.
It also worked for straightening some 2mm fencing wire and I’ve placed this into some 6mm OD pvc tube. Once I get the fuel clips and fuel valve installed I’ll template up a tube and see how I go.
Thanks for all the great advice!

Custom Fuel Line Bending
Does anyone know of any good tutorials online for fabricating fuel lines? I’m building a -14 and doing a full fuel return line setup so the lines won’t be the same as the plans. What is the best method for measuring and templating a custom line? Any good tutorials on using the tube bender...
